Termite Barriers For New Properties
If you are building a new home or structure, installing termite barriers during construction is the smartest and most cost-effective way to protect your investment. It is far easier and cheaper to build termite protection in from the start than to treat an infestation after the fact. Australian building codes require termite management systems for new constructions in most states, so getting this right from day one is essential.
Step 1: Install a Physical and Chemical Barrier During Construction
During the slab and frame stages of construction, physical and chemical barriers can be installed to block termite entry points. Expansion joint foam with an active termiticide ingredient is one of the most effective and easy to install options, creating a durable barrier right where termites are most likely to enter.

Step 2: Install a Reticulation System for Ongoing Chemical Treatment
A reticulation system installed in the soil around the foundation during construction allows you to reapply liquid termiticide quickly and easily throughout the life of the building, without any excavation or disruption. It is the most future-proof termite management solution available for new builds.

Step 3: Set Up an Active Perimeter Baiting System
Once construction is complete, install in-ground bait stations around the perimeter of the property as an active early warning and elimination system. Bait stations intercept termites before they reach the structure and wipe out entire colonies including the queen.
